Centipede

...Don’t listen to that centipede. 
That’s not something you need.
Pay attention to the earth’s surface. 
Take a moment to look at their face. 

Don’t eat corn on the cob. 
It will make you sob.

Continuous petaling noises. 
Screeching centipedes. 
Underground.

wear tiny gloves. I don’t need 
their diseases.

We have coasts. But what use of these? They burn with sultry heat.

Flies and Other Bugs

...A fly that always evades us.
We are in a rush.
With no time to kill a fly.
One that is already about to die.
So we leave it to land on the sink.
We leave the house to get away and think.
Flys, ...

About the biggest party bash that ever was.

...I pressed my hands against my face 

 and rock my body to and fro  

and let the rhythm flow  

where my imagination goes.  

The flies are crawling on the ceiling

The bells upon their ankles sounded like seven trumpets

Multi-legs frighten me!
Centipedes and spiders make me jump on a chair-
up I flee!

Each of them scores!
Creepy legs crawl, then run- huge scare

velvet mites appear 
roam as though lost their mates  ---
blood-red carpets spread 

flies sip my teacup 
to get a taste of my lip ---
some linger so long

white ants don't enter
